I've been mastering my Mac OSX 2.8.x for three years now, and every little problem has found a way of being solved except for two Very hardcore problems that I can never figure out.
Ive been downloading ISO and DMG files through the Torrent networks this year, and most of the time, everything seems to work. Other times I get stuck because of two puzzles:
1. when I download a folder, It holds "within thyself" a number of RAR files. When the files are in a (rar, r00-r69) system, Stuffit expander understands what to do and extracts what is enclosed from all parts of the archive, this works well.
the problem occurs when the archive is multiple files that all end with .rar (DVD.Part01.rar - DVD.part69.rar) in this case stuffit only extracts one rar file at a time, and I get say 69 "tempxxxx" folders with different parts of the enclosed file. The needed result is a One Whole file.
Also in this case, Stuffit may semi-work with this multiple .rar system and extracts a file that's say 250 megs in size, when the actual file size enclosed is 3.3 gigs.
2. I've been told that other Archivers for OS X can handle these situations. When I download my suited versions of UnrarX, Unarchiver, Rar Expander, Rar, Extractnow, and other great software from a site like sourceforge, it never seems to work because of problem #2: The downloads are dmg images. On my system dmg files can't mount because of "Error 95: No Mountable File Systems".
There comes a time where computers just stop making sense.
If this makes sense to you, or you have come up with a handy solution, I would be very interested in hearing your Ideas.
Is there a solution to problem #1 without going into #2?
Is there a solution to extracting from multiple .rar files that are not compressed as (rar, r00 - r0something)?
Also maybe someone figured out "Error 95: no mountable file systems" in DiskImage?
I am aware this is also a very common problem, so this means a solution has to come about.
all help much appreciated,
Thanks.
